pointed out that it was a juvenile form of C. pisifera from cuttings with 

 primordial leaves only. Introduced by the late John Gould Veitch in 

 1861. 



FITZEOYA PATAGONICA, Hook. f. 



Bot. Mag. t. 4616 ; Paxt. Fl. Gdn. vol. ii. p. 147, pi. 387 ; Man. Con. 1900, ed. 2, 

 p. 198 ; Lindl. in Jour. Hort. Soc. London, 1851, vol. vi. p. 264. 



From Valdivia in 1849 by William Lobb to the Veitchian firm, this 

 species, in cultivation since introduction, has proved hardy, though not 

 altogether a satisfactory subject for British Pineta, as the same climatic 

 conditions essential for Saxe-gothaea conspicua and Libocedrus tetragona 

 lack in the British Isles. 



Eichard Pearce affirmed this Conifer to be the Fitzroya which supplies 

 the valuable alerze timber of the Chilians, and not Libocedrus tetragona 

 as stated by most travellers. 



Among the largest specimens in the British Isles are those at 

 Killerton, Exeter ; at Upcott, near Barnstaple ; at Penjerrick, Cornwall ; 

 at Fota Island, Cork, and one at Kilmacurragh, Co. Wicklow. 



JUNIPEEUS CALIFOENICA, Carr. 



Syns. J. occidentalis, Hook., J. pyriforinis, Lindl. 



Card. Chron. 1855, p. 420; Man. Con. 1900, ed. 2, p. 167; Sargent's Silva of North 



America, vol. x. t. 517. 



Introduced in 1853, at the same time as Sequoia gigantea, by William 

 Lobb, discovered on the mountains of San Barnardino in California, where 

 it forms a low tree 10 to 12 ft. high, and distributed under Dr. Lindley's 

 name, Juniperus pyriformis, on account of the pear-shaped fruit. The 

 climate of this country is unsuited to the tree, and few are in 

 cultivation. 



JUNIPEEUS CHINENSIS, Linn. 

 vars. ALBO-VAEIEGATA, Hort., and AUEEA, Hort. 



Man. Con. 1900, ed. 2, p. 169. 



The varieties albo-variegata and aurea were first sent to this country 

 by Eobert Fortune, and subsequently by the late John Gould Veitch. 

 The type reached the Eoyal Gardens, Kew, through a young gardener, 

 William Kerr, at that time in the employ of the Government in China. 



JUNIPEEUS EIGIDA, Sieb. & Zucc. 



Card. Chron. 1861, p. 23 ; Man. Con. 1900, ed. 2, p.' 188. 



Juniperus rigida, introduced to gardens by the late John Gould Veitch 

 in 1861, was found growing luxuriantly at a great elevation on the 

 Hakone ridges, attaining a height of from 15 to 20 ft. : as a decorative 

 object this Juniper has proved superior to many others.
